Chapter 1256: Memory disorder
It was not that Lou ruofu had never suspected Liao Wei's identity, but she had known him for a long time and had been in contact with him for a few years. Moreover, Liao Wei's identity had been recognized by the Jing family. No one would have thought that he was Jing Rui's substitute.
Of course, Liao Wei did not say that Jing Rui was a fake. He was the real one, in case the Lou family found out that he was the fake one.
He only said that he was just putting on a show with Shuyin and told Lou ruofu about Shuyin's identity. He made it clear that he was afraid of Shuyin's strength and the Virus Research Institute's strength.
Liao Wei had been doing very well recently. He slept in the day and played with women at night. He used Jing Rui's face to get in touch with several young ladies from small families, and made them cry and beg to marry him.
Jing Rui usually worked during the day and spent most of his time with Shuyin at night. Liao Wei was not afraid of being exposed when he was out using Jing Rui's face.
No one had found out that there were two Jing ruis in A city.
Everyone thought that although Jing Rui looked arrogant and cold, he was actually fond of women and had a messy private life.
If Liao Wei had only toyed with Lou ruofu, Jing Rui would not have noticed his existence immediately. However, Liao Wei was a lecherous man. After he realized that nothing had happened, he started to act presumptuously.
Jing Rui looked at the picture of Liao Wei hugging those women on the table and thought that they must be blind.
Only half of Liao Wei's face was fine. The other half was a little distorted due to the injury. His face was still a little swollen. It was obvious that he had injected too much hyaluronic acid to make himself look like him.
However, there were very few women who had seen him before, so it was no wonder that the girls would get the wrong person.
Jing Rui sneered. Liao Wei had come to A city, so did Zishan?
He had hidden it well. There was no news of her after such a long time!
She wanted to use Liao Wei to lure him out, but she did not know that Jing Rui was also using Liao Wei to lure her out.
They were both from an assassin organization, and many of their techniques were surprisingly similar.
When Shuyin walked into the study, she saw the explicit photos on the table. But she was very familiar with Jing Rui and could tell that the person in the photos was not Jing Rui after looking at two of them.
It seemed that she was Jing Rui's substitute.
She handed a cup of hot tea to Jing Rui and said with a frown,""It's not good to just let him do as he pleases, right?"
Lou ruofu's appearance was already annoying enough. If a few more women came and said that Jing Rui wanted to marry them, Shuyin felt that even if she knew it was fake, she couldn't be magnanimous anymore.
And now that family Lou was bankrupt, family Jing had lost a powerful arm. They couldn't break all the arms and legs, could they?
By then, no family would dare to follow family Jing.
Jing Rui took a sip of the tea and said with a smile,""Don't worry. He's gone too far. Someone will take care of him. I don't need to do anything."
Zishan was cautious and headstrong by nature, so Liao Wei was definitely going to suffer for being so reckless.
He was not worried about Liao Wei's problem. He was more concerned about Shuyin's problem.
"Yinyin, don't go to your mother's place anymore. Don't investigate the past anymore."
Shuyin had obviously lost weight in the past few days and looked tired every day. It was rare for her to be in such a state today.
She usually didn't talk much.
Shuyin lowered her head."Although the DNA results show that Jiang Manshu is my mother," she said softly,"I've never treated her as a mother."
Jing Rui had a point. After she had confirmed that Jiang Manshu was her mother and Li Jing was her sister, there was no need to investigate further.
But what Jing Rui didn't know was that the reason why Shuyin refused to give up on Jiang Manshu was that Jiang Manshu had been asking her to take revenge for Shucheng mountain.
She was afraid that if she rejected Jiang Manshu, she would find someone else to deal with Jing Rui, which would make it even harder to guard against.
This was her biological mother. Even though Shuyin hated her and hated her, this was really her mother. She was the woman who had used all her means to survive ten years ago!
Was she really going to kill her own mother?
Shuyin was in pain. She would rather Jiang Manshu had died ten years ago!
In the past, she hated Lucas for killing her parents. Now, she hated Lucas for not killing her parents!
Jiang Manshu could die in anyone's hands, even if it was Shuyin herself. But she didn't want Jiang Manshu to die in Jing Rui's hands.
Even though Jing Rui did not care if his hands were stained with blood, Shuyin was not willing to let Jing Rui bear the burden.
He had already made Jing Rui feel guilty for killing Shu Chengshan. What would happen if Jiang Manshu was added to the mix?
Therefore, Jiang Manshu could not die in Jing Rui's hands, and Jing Rui could not die in Jiang Manshu's hands.
Shuyin was stuck in this kind of crevice, bitterly looking for an opportunity.
Seeing Shuyin's mood drop, Jing Rui quickly got up and hugged her.""Yinyin, I'll support you in whatever you do. I won't interfere with your freedom of action."
He had thought that Shuyin had feelings for her mother and sister, and that she only hated Jiang Manshu for hiding for ten years and not acknowledging her.
So, he immediately changed his words.
Up until now, Jiang Manshu had not done anything to let Shuyin down. She was not a good mother and did not give Shuyin enough motherly love, but she did not hurt Shuyin much either.
Even the person who sent Shuyin to the Research Institute wasn't her, but Shu Chengshan.
Shu Yin leaned against Jing Rui, holding his waist and closing her eyes.
She felt very tired and insecure. She only felt at ease when Jing Rui held her in his arms.
She had been in a very tense state in the Research Institute, which had caused her to not sleep well. She had been very alert, especially recently. It was so serious that she could not fall asleep without Jing Rui's arms.
Even so, Shuyin always had nightmares.
Some of her childhood memories slowly blurred, and some images that she could not remember at all appeared.
Shuyin could now confirm that the memories she had always been proud of were fake. They had been tampered with!
It was very easy for a hypnotist to make a child forget some things and guide her to remember other things. Shuyin could do it herself.
Without a doubt, the person who modified her memory was Shucheng mountain.
If it wasn't for Shuyin's strong mental fortitude, this feeling of memory disorder would definitely make her collapse.
While the Research Institute had given her pain and torture, it had also given her perseverance that ordinary people could not hope to achieve.
She lay in Jing Rui's arms and mumbled,""Rui, I'm not dreaming, am I? Will I one day find out that our lives are fake?"
Jing Rui didn't know that Shuyin's childhood memories were messed up, but he loved Shuyin deeply and could feel her confusion and pain.
He hugged Shuyin tightly and said gently,"no, it's not a dream. I can't fake my love for you."
